[agent\_craft] Applying general legal/financial rules without verifying the user's jurisdiction

Always prompt for or require jurisdiction context before providing any legal or financial rule, and explicitly state the jurisdiction the provided rule applies to. Default to refusing if jurisdiction is ambiguous.

Journey Context:
Law varies wildly by state/country. A corporate rule in Delaware differs from California; GDPR differs from CCPA. An agent assuming a default jurisdiction \(usually US\) will confidently give wrong advice for international users, creating massive liability.
